Twisted Tarot Legacy Challenge

UDC YR. 1300

Starter Heir:

Starter Heir's Wife:

To start off,,, Ruben and Lilith settled into a farm together shortly after marrying. With the little money from Lilith's father, they were able to buy a cow and two chickens. Their farm (gardening patch) is by no means fully used, but they have a few crops growing already.

(pretending the pregnancy test is grain seeds...)(I ALSO FORGOT TO TAKE OFF HER NAIL POLISH FOR A HOT MINUTE IM SORRYYYY) Within a couple months of living on the farm, Lilith was overjoyed (even though she looks in tears in the photo- I swear she was happy) to find out that she was pregnant!

The move was surprisingly a lot easier than Lilith was fearing it to be (she had a really close relationship with her father, and he ended up passing a month after she moved away-) and she found to enjoy the farm life with Ruben fairly quickly. (Given she grew up a baker's daughter, though they were by no means wealthy.)

Oh. And Vlad decided to show up and feast on Ruben... Erm. It was not planned. (I swear, I tried stopping it T-T he would not leave) So he might be a tad... under the weather? (I have a mod that makes being bitten have a chance of being turned... I don't know what to do if he does turn... sigh.)

It took literally almost until the last three months for Lilith and Ruben to be able to make anything other than gruel... Lilith was pretty proud of herself (and relieved to eat something other than gruel) when they finally had the ingredients to make porridge. Of course,,, not a first choice either,,, but it was better than gruel!

I fear that Nicolas is becoming a mortal enemy of mine right now... Fussy, AND doesn't like being held? AND A LIGHT SLEEPER? Both him and Thalia are light sleepers and both wake up at different times of the night, poor Charity and Leviathon don't get much sleep these days.

WHICH IS WHY I WAS SHOCKED WHEN CHARITY CAME UP AND ASKED THIS WHEN LEVI WAS TRYING TO PUT THE KIDS TO BED. Obviously I said yes because I love the drama, and if she wants kids and is asking, why not. Levi has already been autonomously thinking about baby bottles and everything.

This pandasama drawing toy is really cute, and both Thalia and Nicolas have been taking turns drawing, filling their walls with just pure chaos of crayon and paper. Thalia is also the only one who wears shoes in the house and is constantly playful because of it, and the fact she wears mismatched shoes seems so perfect about the whole dynamic.

And lastly, both Thalia and Nicolas had their first naps since aging into toddlers since they've never really been tired during the days before, but they both went and napped on the sofa, and I thought that was adorable.

UDC YR. 1303

So. Eventful year. Little happened, but uh. A lot happened. Major trigger warning; there is child death in this.

Poor Wolfie is growing older quickly, the family isn't sure how long he has left but are unsure how to bring it up with the kids because of how attached they are to him despite not having him for long. (Especially Philip with how he seems to never be in a room without Woflie.) Baby boy even made sure Wolfie was alright while Ruben bathed him.

Lilith, Izabella, and their close neighbor Constance got to hang out for a bit while Lilith knitted, mostly just catching up on what they have been up to while Izabella chimed in every now and then about whatever was on her mind of course.

Because of the growing household, and with plans for more children in the future, Ruben finally got enough wood to upgrade their house. Let's just say he was pretty proud of how it turned out.

Lilith found she is pregnant once more, now more than glad that Ruben upgraded the house when he had, their space was getting fairly small to house four at this point anyways. The extra loft was much needed.

Just when the family thought nothing bad could happen, Stuart sadly passed away overnight, just shy of turning two. His lungs had given out and there was no way to stop it. The twins don't really understand death, but they have come to realized that their little brother is not coming back.

It was not a fun way to finish off the year in any way, and Lilith has grown into a state of depression, growing sick with her pregnancy again. Of course, this leaves Ruben stressed out and worried about his wife and children. Even the dog refuses to leave the crib Stuart slept in, not having the energy to get up with his age.

UDC YR. 1319

I think I figured out why my sims often have more than one babies... I have it set so they can have up to four babies. (and in the first family, I forgot they were supposed to woohoo instead of try for baby) Rolf does less work than Minna, poor girl is going crazy. For some reason, she brought Adelbert outside while she was doing laundry, I think she's been lonely.

Adelbert survived his death roll! He's such a cutie, I love my child. Now that he's a bit older, Rolf has actually been paying attention to him... I mean. At least he's interacting with his kid now. T-T and I love that Minna is able to play with her son, it's so cute.

Episode five thousand of sims glitching into objects! Why is Jacques coming out of my sims stove/chimney, bro's Santa Claus?

Family photoooo. They look so formal and professional, it's crazy.

Adelbert PUT HIMSELF into that chair that was put their just because they own it but dont use it and he's looking at me like I put him in timeout. The family actually all went over to the market table when Minna was tending it, I had to make Rolf go back to work smh. But it was sweet of them.

I would have kept them infants longer, but having twins is so indescribably stressful especially when their father is FAILING HIS COLLEGE COURSES CAUSE HE'S ALWAYS WATCHING THE KIDS. sigh. I'd rather him fail college than be a neglectful father though.

Sock is the kitty, I don't take enough photos of him, but Levi and Charity got him when they first started dating. He's a grumpy man. Shae is also in this photo; I might start making posts about her and her own daughter as well. 👀 anyways not much happened between this update and the last, I was busy setting up my rainbow legacy house asldnfldsaknff

UDC YR. 1308

As stated in last post, I played with the Royals except for the last day of 1308, so this is a pretty short update for the Frost Family.

Ruben finally got his kids and brought them all to Saint Grace Church for Lilith's burial. A nun had come over and blessed her grave before they left, ensuring Ruben that she would be in heaven. (lol as an atheist, that is so funny and weird for playing a family that are heavily religious but we rolling along.)

Honestly, the kiddos have been getting along nicely. Lowri has become quite a troublemaker, loving to take things apart and leaving them in a destructed state. And surprise surprise, Ben is loving the action and chaos that it brings. Poor Philip is usually the one who is told to clean it up.

Ruben is slowly coming to terms with the fact he will need to rewed, slowly being okay with it too. (When his new wife has children, does it make his first wife's children no longer allowed to inherit the farm?) The only problem? Actually finding a new wife.

UDC YR. 1308 (ROYAL EDITION)

I mostly played with the royals this year! It won't be very common that I do, but their children aged up and I thought I would check up on them.

Joan: Bea, I just don't know what to do. The entire town seems to hate me, haven't you noticed? Back home in Tartosa, I was well loved, it does not make any sense.

Beatrice: The people are different here, your grace. You know that King Edward is... Well, I mustn't say this if I want to live, if you understand what I am saying.

Joan: No, no, I understand. I just wish that they did not take it out on me. It's tireless behavior.

Jack: Mother, you will never believe it. I think I have fallen in love.

Joan: Jack... This is the third girl this week. It's Tuesday.

Jack: Well, yes, but this is the one this time. And she is actually a royal, so father would approve.

Joan: Your wife is already picked out, Jack...

Jack: Oh. Well then, I think I will fall in love with her when I meet her!

Joan: You've- You've already met her.

Edward: I've been at this for hours, good grief. Is this all of it then?

Luis: That's your first response of action, Your Majesty. There are dozens of others and there are letters from the other kingdoms wondering about which daughter the young prince is getting married to.

Edward: I still haven't done that. I already told Joan that the girl was picked out, has it not been yet?

Luis: No, Your Majesty, you never looked at the letters or the lineup of princesses yet.

Edward: I swear I will have died by the time I finished all of this. I am done for the day, Luis, tell everyone I am not here.

UDC YR. 1315

We hit the Great Famine! Content Warnings ensue.

'The Great Famine of 1315–1317 was the first of a series of large-scale crises that struck Europe early in the 14th century. Most of Europe was affected. Crop failures were not the only problem; cattle disease caused sheep and cattle numbers to fall as much as 80%. The period was marked by extreme levels of crime, disease, mass death, and even cannibalism and infanticide. Historians debate the toll, but it is estimated that 10–25% of the population of many cities and towns died.'

The Frost family had to say goodbye to their stock when they couldn't keep up with managing even enough food for themselves. It was hard to let go such a well working food source of eggs, but they wouldn't have gotten anything out of the chickens (or their cow) if they had kept them and let them starve.

The garden lost all of the plants, no longer bearing any harvest that Ruben had to dig them all up from the ground. Food helpings are being cut in half and the kids are becoming short tempered as a result. Lowri in particular has been extremely vocal about her distaste towards pretty much everything at any point that she can. (she got the loud child phase lol)

Philip has been getting sick way too easy ever since but is still doing his best to keep the younger ones entertained and shift their minds away from being hungry. Ben, on the other hand, has been angry and quiet, Ulla has been pushing her worries about him for a while. Ruben says that he just needs some time to himself.

If anything, Ruben has been taking this as a chance to work on new seed bags to lure animals during his hunts. They've become scarcer to find on his runs, but that hasn't let him down just yet. Ulla has been subject to his ramblings on the different pairings of seeds and scents would better attract an animal towards his trap that she has begun to follow him around during the day so she can sleep at night.

Character Sheets !!

I need them both, help

its been CRAZY y’all I cannot. Charity is barely home because shes working all the time and they still have NO MONEY 😭😭 Levi just finished his 8/12 classes, and Charity had to completely rearrange her garden during her day off.

this has to be my favorite picture of Charity and Thalia though, like that is so sweetttt. Charity watching Thalia while Levi is bathing Nicolas and they both passed out.

The house has been getting pretty messy, but they’re doing surprisingly well! The kiddos age up in four days and they’ve already got a birthday party planned with three close friends attending.
